#1 is no longer a working man.
Since all of this stuff in our lives started, he's been more than a little distracted, and it showed in his work performance. So, yesterday he was let go.
Surprisingly he wasn't too upset. He admitted that he has been thinking lately of finding work closer to home so he could walk to work and not have to take the bus. With that in mind, he got off the bus a stop early and walked around gathering job applications before coming home.
It was a good lesson for him, and hopefully he will take a lot away with him from his first job experience.
